Effects of MeHg on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress markers. Mitochondrial enriched fractions were isolated from mouse brains and incubated in the absence (white bars) or in the presence (black bars) of 100 μM MeHg. Subsequently, (A) mitochondrial function, (B) GSH levels, (C) ROS formation, and (D) lipid peroxidation were determined. ROS, GSH and lipid peroxidation were measured at 15, 30 and 60 minutes after incubations with MeHg, respectively. Data are expressed as nmol/mg protein (A and C) or percent of controls (B and D) (mean ± SE; n = 6).

** (p<0.01), *** (p<0.001) when compared to the control group by one-way ANOVA, followed by Duncan's multiple range test.
